Ten Reasons to join Team Robin Hood and run the ING New York City Marathon

April 8, 2010 New York

Message from Lindsay Carroll, Robin Hood staff member and marathoner.

Join the Robin Hood team for the ING New York City Marathon 2010.

I work for the Robin Hood events team and ran the ING New York City Marathon in 2008 and 2009. I can tell you from experience that there is nothing like it. In case you need some convincing, a few of last year’s runners put together a quick list that we think will do the job.

10 Reasons to join Team Robin Hood to run the ING New York City Marathon 2010:
  1. You are a good person who wants to give back to New York City.
  2. You didn't get a spot via the lottery.
  3. Team Robin Hood weekly tips and training runs with Coach Scott in Central Park – we’ll even watch your bags while you train!
  4. Last year, you saw our rockin' Mile 20 Block Party and you want in.
  5. Private Robin Hood buses to the marathon start where you'll prepare for the race in our VIP team tent complete with facilities.
  6. Because Robin Hood's board covers all operating expenses, 100 percent of every dollar you raise goes to more than 200 of the most effective poverty-fighting organizations.
  7. Free weekly training sessions at Flywheel Sports, the first indoor cycling studio created by athletes, for athletes. (Because cross-training makes you stronger!)
  8. Your company is looking for the ultimate team-building exercise.
  9. You'll get to know people as passionate about Robin Hood as this guy at events like the team kick-off and pre-race dinner.
  10. Because children like William will get a first class education and go to college, thanks to you.
Join the team. Make a difference on November 7. Please contact me if you have any questions or check out more details on the Team Robin Hood page.


Sincerely,
